Barbara James Poems

thick dark Crows circling to land.
at dusk with brown leaves swirling-
-It's true. I am the black crow-
and the bare tree waiting.
...

Remembering the gate
and the speckled bird
who sang there
day after day
...

Purple salvia
a humingbird's attention
makes more meaningful
...

all heads turned my way!
I like to look at cows
Apparently,
they like to look at me.
...

Prickly fish
Your prehistoric scales
belie your immortality.
How many oceans
...

The earth was moving slower
it wasn't me there
when they said that mother died.
Echoes upon echoes.
...

In the still dark morning
you stand out stark white
below your sparse cover
Waiting and waiting
...

Freckles, the lovliest dog.
Long stretch in the morning,
From beginning to end,
no complaints.
...

Home the river way
dried leaves crowded underfoot
I know much shorter paths
But none so close to being.
...

10.

Where was it?
I can't remember.
Tall green trees.
Brown pungent earth
...

The ox and the field are one
Seemless grazing
a gentle breeze
Hot yellow sun scorching
...

The sun is hot today
I thought yesterday
there'd be
no more tears.
...

Not by chance
I happened upon the cow
alone again in the empty field.
Walking at dusk on the road
...

Those are dry grasses
underneath the green pines.
a Grey baby quail peeking out.
Stamping feet.
...

Better to sit beneath a tree
than to stay in idle chatter.

shadows of branches,
...

For want of something better,
I call you chunky.
A chunk here, a chunk there
Hung carelessly on 4 spindly legs.
...

In all these billions
of eons,
In all these myriad
of worlds,
...

Fortunately,
there is no
joy nor sorrow
Only emptiness
...

It all boils down to this

In this whole wide Universe.
...

reality. the material world
always sneaking in.
Losing it all, wondering!
why can't everyday be holy?
...

Dark Crows

thick dark Crows circling to land.

-It's true. I am the black crow-
